    AC Refrigerator and loading

    Hello, I do not understand quite well the way AC and DC works on my Hunter 45CC. Am I correct saying that if I switch the generator (Kohler) it will produce AC, but this AC will serve to charge the battery in 12V DC and the inverter will re-convert it to AC to use it for the refrigerator...

    Hunter 38 Refrigerator

    We are new to us 2008 Hunter 38 owners. We purchased the boat without the original refrigerator (it was already removed). I was hoping someone knows what model the original unit was? We think it was a NovaKool R3800, but not 100% sure. I would also be interested in knowing if anyone has...

    refrigerator drain

    The refrigerator drain in my 35 ft. Beneteau Oceanis is clogged. I cannot find the outlet of the drain through the hull. Does anyone know where it drains? Is it the small hole in the stern? Thanks! John Hickner

    Replacing a galley bulkhead fridge

    Hiya, My '85 40 has two fridges: One is the galley bulkhead fridge above the stove, and the other is the ice chest fridge below the counter top. My bulkhead fridge has petered out and probably lost all coolant. It's also rusty and the gaskets are deteriorated. My ice chest fridge blowed...

    Replace Stove with Fridge?

    Ahoy there, Sailors! I own a 1985 Newport 30’ which is currently in use as a day-cruiser and occasional crash pad. I am wondering how feasible it would be to replace my stove with a refrigerator. Will it decrease my resale value? Is a standalone stove worth anything? I have no place to store...

    After several weeks of the refrigerator system tripping the breaker occasionally we arrived on the boat to find the fan running with breaker engaged, but nothing cold. After system checks it seems pretty certain that the original compressor has given up so the Admiral authorized replacing the...
